The plan was essentially simple: to find a young adult male from a primitive tribe,bring him into a highly developed society,and monitor the results.Would he experience culture shock and trauma, or would he learn to cope and adapt? If,as the writer,James Horvitz,and his anthropologist girlfriend believed,the latter, then their findings would rock the world. Snatched from his isolated home deep in the Amazon Basin,Inka finds himself thrust into a world of towering buildings,dazzling light,a cacophony of sound and ferocious multi-coloured tribes talking strange tongues.Was this the spirit world his fathers had promised him?
Project Wildman had begun . . . . and was to lead to some breathtaking and dangerous adventures as a South American Indian confronted Western civilization - from the backstreets, crawling with pimps and hookers,to the cavernous depths of the subway station,and the wide-open spaces of Central Park.
'The Savage' is a highly original,gripping and thought-provoking novel of two societies,one primitive,one civilised - but which,we must ask ourselves,is which?
Alex Peters is the pseudonym of two international best-selling authors.The Savage is the first in a series they are planning (then 1979) on controversial and topical subjects.
